I was originally going to go there and post that they were being trolled, but the longer I'm there the sicker i get! I lost any sympathy I had after readinng the content.

A:they think its purely a male problem.

B: they act like their parters do it on purpouse!

And there are lots of links to "aspergers can be cured" sites. : / I looked at a few, as delusional as the "cure gays" cultists.

If being married to one of us is such a chore, break it off, I'm having to end a 12 year relationship that just "didn't work out" largely over it.

Crying, scheming and screaming is not going to rebuild their spouses.

Lastly every post I've read is scented with burning martyr. It takes two to tango, and if you are in a relationship that hopeless you are just as to blame.......

ASpartners... what can I say.

It just reinforced to me what I've always thought in how NT's view people like us.

I have to concur that these women have problems theirselves.

Their motto is "it IS their fault".

I wish these folks would spontaniously combust....a few less bee-atches around making their aspie spouses miserable. What I can't understand is why on earth would their husbands put up with them? I guess they don't know the things being said behind their back or else these females would've been kicked to the curb.....and unable to find anyone else willing to put up with their mess. Then they'll really start whining then.

I read one post on AS Partners last night where a woman was complaining about all of the negativity and lack of understanding that the women have on that site. They did not like that and one person even told her to find another forum.

I´ve read a couple of these posts. It´s only negativity.

A lot of these women see their husband as a sort of insurance. They marry because they don´t have to be independent themselves.

And then they start complaining when things go wrong. Their husband loosing his job, not able to find a new job, not paying bills, etcetera.

Why they´re not just leaving instead of complaining behind their back :?:
Then they can prove how independent the´re themselves :!:

I thought the same thing almost immediately. Its fairly obvious that these women are only holding on to their relationships for the financial benefit... whenever they say something like "Asspie" what they're really thinking is "Meal Ticket".

What really got to me was the women complaining about their husbands putting on an "act" around their kids. Did they ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, they're trying to improve their relationship with their children????? :x :x They're so locked into their manipulative, hate-filled view of the world that they couldn't concieve of someone actually doing something for the sake of love and being a good person. Just sad.

EDIT: It reminds me quite a bit about the wife from the movie "Ordinary People" anybody seen that?

They seemed a bit Histrionic; like 1,000 Salacious Crumbs all chattering at Once. Salacious Crumb was a girl I knew at college and I didn't give her that name, a mutual acquaintance named Scaramouche did that. He got the idea from that chattering thing near Jabba The Hutt in Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back.

The 'Meal Ticket' is exactly the men are being used as and even where some of the men are called 'AS' it might not mean that they are and it almost certainly seems that they are not the main problem.

Comment One: I HATE THE ADS ON THAT SITE. Made me sick.

Comment Two: Even though that is a site which makes me nervous and also makes me want to jump in a make clarification comments, I feel sorta sorry for a lot of those women. I mean, I know how difficult I can be-- how emotionally unsupportive for people in my life-- and I see how painful it has been/can be for my loved ones. So I sorta see where these posters are coming from. Emotional support, especially verbal and physical, I cannot do well at all. It feels so incredibly awkward. I give things to people instead, or DO stuff for them to show them what I wanted to but just cannot say.

I doubt I'd visit that site again simply because it would feel like an attack on me each time I would go there. But I can also understand their frustrations as I have caused similar frustrations to people in my life.

It is unfortunate that this site burys very good information in a lot of complaint and misunderstanding.
It is kind of amazing that people would make those comments and then sign any name that might identify them.
Looks like a lot of energy going to waste.
What if, instead, they engaged in constructive exchange of ideas to manage their feelings?
Or if they exchanged ideas about gluten intolerance and aspergers? I would welcome such a site, because I have celiac disease and no one takes seriously the connection.
I also saw a symptom mentioned that I didn't realize had to do with aspergers, then I lost it and couldn't find it again. It had to do with making rhymes of things, or funny noises, or both. I thought everyone did this and have never been able to understand why people get so upset when I do it.
Example from my deceased cat Zachy:
Zach cat, snack attack, black cat, cadillac, rack attack, pack rat...etc

I was also intrigued by the heightened emotional tone of responses on this thread. It seemed absurd to be bothered by people who, for the most part obviously don't know what they are doing.

Amazingly, I didn't notice the ads. Usually they drive me crazy. I'll have to go back and look again...

Still didn't find the post I was looking for. Did, however, find this:

Quote:
This Forum has given me a chance to look back on the last 6 years with Hubby and I have come to realise just how oddly precious a 'different' relationship is.
His behaviour has led me to:
* Ask clearly and honestly for what I want rather than play body language games
* Approach highly emotional situations with more calm and logic
* Really ask myself what the battle is and whether it is worth fighting and WHY
* Learn to value solitude and focus, and not stray from myself by getting hooked on others
* Re-evaluate my personal boundaries
* And celebrate the oddball eccentric in all of us - why should we all be the same?

It is not neccesarily a bad thing to put yourself first - sometimes the strength that comes from a self-concerned attitude will get faster, clearer and better results!

Love S


Too bad its buried in all the noise.
I didn't look at the ads again. I think I have filtered them out....
